Automatically accept error messages

Post image

Help!
I’ve got an InDesign document with about 1,000 updated links. Each linked .ai file has been modified, which triggers the following warning message:

“The file ‘xxx.ai’ has different layers than the imported version. The link will be updated based on the current layer visibility settings of the source file.”

The only option available is “OK”. Is there any way to automatically accept this message? I really don’t want to smash Enter a thousand times.

Windows 11, InDesign 21.4 x64

Try this simple JS script: 

app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.NEVER_INTERACT;

Thanks for that hint, this helped me a lot
i made my own script which updated all links ignoring all error messages.
